Occupation
Senior Security Engineer
Senior Security Engineers design, build, and operate security systems that protect applications, infrastructure, and data at scale, working across threat modeling, vulnerability management, secure development practices, and security automation. The role typically involves hands-on technical work—writing code, architecting security controls, configuring detection systems—alongside cross-functional collaboration with engineering teams to embed security throughout product development and operations. It suits experienced security professionals with deep technical expertise in one or more security domains (application, cloud, infrastructure, identity) who can move independently on complex projects while balancing technical rigor with business and developer needs.
